welcome everyone today or tonight always
when you want to go to bed right
always always so it's 12am
and this is going to be my most
anticipated
litter of the year
[Music]
well i was hoping that sophie would have
babies but
it i don't know what's happening with
her and bond
bond has been wrapped around her having
fun with her all the time
as you can see they're probably
oh no i separated them to feed but she
doesn't seem like she's pregnant
it's still a possibility but i i don't
think she's pregnant
because this year i only did three uh we
had one
from athena and it didn't turn out that
well
and i haven't posted that video yet but
this is the most excited one
because i put my moon glow img to a
normal female
and this is going to be basically the
proof
that my moon glow is img
putting him to nova the sun glow i've
had all these amazing babies
i'm pretty sure this is a
super sun glow img
but because i haven't had any normal
imgs
i haven't been like a hundred percent
i'm like 95
so this litter is gonna basically tell
us
i barely looked in i still i'm gonna
have to remove her first
she's my biggest boa right now so we're
gonna remove her from the babies
we're going to take a look at them
together and hopefully we got a pile of
img's
oh she's she seems like she's a sweet
snake so i've never
taken babies from this one either oh
please be nice
it's okay it's okay it's okay
and she is hit albino
we got snows or moon glows in there
is that
we'll just get her out first okay
i just i don't know if she's gonna be
and then not nice smooth what are you
waiting for
do it just do it
yes you can just do it
she seems like she's okay
[Music]
papa is a bite master
just putting her there for now
yeah she was nice okay
here we go how would you even know right
away well
we'll wait and see until after this [ __ ]
i guess but
she did prove out to be hit snow
so we got
[Music]
some this one's not alive i don't think
there's still
[Music]
see sometimes you get
some dead animals so that's one
stillborn
there's some that are like look at how
tiny that one's head is
i don't know look at how tiny this one's
faces
see it's just like i don't know if yeah
these guys
probably won't last that they'll go to
pearl
well it might make it you didn't end up
making it
[Music]
i thought she'd probably have a lot more
let's see how many we got we got another
it always stinks when it's like
do this one too it looks like we have
three stillborns
but i think it is her first glitter even
though she's like eight years old
i'm pretty sure that one won't make it
but the others should
oh just it's just a nice looking snake
right yeah it's a sungla
sun glows are actually my favorite i
think out of
number nine like no like out of just
like the basic like jeans and whatever
like i like sun glows more than moon
glows
okay so it's the next day and i'm very
excited to share with you
that my moon glow img is a moon glow img
i wasn't 100 sure about it
until now like i was like 95 percent
sure but without
seeing like a dark img it was kind of
messing with me i've paired him
to a annery motley
and that was gonna prove it for sure and
she basically slugged out
and i paired him to another snake she
slugged out and had stillborn so i had
one really bad letter last year and then
i had a bad letter this year already
and this was kind of like i wouldn't
normally breed
a normal female but she was hit snow
and i figured this would be the way to
prove
that he's img so we do have some img
babies in here
lots of them don't have the head cross
so
when you see imgs you normally see a
strong head cross
so not seeing that kind of had me
doubting and questioning
let's take a look at some of these okay
the ones that i believe for sure are img
you look at this one over here and we're
gonna we're gonna take a better look at
them after they have their uh their shed
you can see in the sides all the the
dark
color so when it sheds
that should look all more black and then
with each shed
it should get more and more black
[Music]
but if you look at his head we don't
have that
head cross and who knows maybe maybe
it'll develop
later when i first looked at them i
didn't really think i saw any but then
investigated them a bit last night this
one to me
is the one that kind of stood out the
most
and you can see the img pattern is
almost like a
uh it's it's almost like a
like a salmon that's more bold thicker
[Music]
you can see the the color bleeding on
the sides
so there was a a video that chi
town constrictor made about img's i
think that's probably the most
popular video for identifying imgs
but no one has really made a video
explaining how to identify them in
albinos and that's
made this journey really tricky and i've
asked lots of people
but no one seems to really give me a
definite answer
you always get kind of like look at the
eyebrows and
the pattern and it's just you kinda
gotta look and guess and it makes
everything tricky because
you don't wanna sell something as an img
if it's not
but i look at this and this one's img
but it doesn't have it doesn't have that
head
cross
but it definitely has the img pattern
and the color bleeding on the sides when
you have hypo
in with imgs you have img which is
increased melanistic gene
gonna make it have more pattern it's
gonna make it darker it's gonna have all
these
you see the dark lines across the side
so over time
that darkness will grow more and more
but when you have hypo then you end up
having
a gene that cleans things up so now you
have two genes that do the opposite
thing you have img which is making
things darker
and then you have hypo which is cleaning
it up and actually kind of fighting the
img
and i like that because then you end up
with a snake that's gonna be more
contrast
and it's not gonna end up going all
black and i kind of like
when it has the super black spots but
then also the light spots
so you end up with that nice contrast of
really lights and really darks some of
these will have to wait for them to shed
a few times for it to stand out more
and the other thing is with with hypos
it fights it and with my other litter i
put together
a sunglow head moon glow to
a moon glow img so they all came out
albino
some of those are super so the supers
are going to be extra orange
and the or the supers are going to be
extra pigmented
the img is also going to do the same
thing
so it's it makes it extra tricky because
i don't know if i'm looking at a super
or if i'm looking
at a img but with these
look at this albino there's no super in
there
so everything that kind of makes it
crazy and i'm gonna have to show you
them again
after they shed but you just look at the
uh
you look at the craziness in the pattern
all those whites
all the kind of chaos and img does that
[Music]
but once again with these i'm gonna wait
for them to shed a few times before
saying for sure
i've also had some animals that kind of
look like this
that aren't img you gotta wait for it to
shed a few times to really see
but you you can see all that like extra
dark pigment
in the sides none of these have
that head stamp going across their head
and that's really been that's really
been what's messed
with me and obviously they don't all
have it just some of them do
look at that side like all that side
bleeding color
with the snows and the moon glows it's
it's extra hard
but in general the um imgs will have
like white tails so you'll
you'll end up seeing that the tail is
really white and that the face
is really white like this is a super
clean moon glow
but i'm not sure if it's an img
so see when this sheds if all that
pigment starts getting darker with each
shed
then i know that's img
[Music]
i looked like a bag of poop because i
didn't sleep properly
i didn't film the whole process of like
cleaning them and cleaning the mom and
everything but if you do want to see the
whole process i go through when i have
babies check out the first video
otherwise check out the second video
[Music]
so
you
